The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts was
established in 1987. In accordance with Andy Warhol's will, its
mission is the advancement of the visual arts. The Foundation's
objective is to foster innovative artistic expression and the creative
process by encouraging and supporting cultural
organizations that in turn, directly or indirectly, support artists
and their work. The Foundation values the contribution these organizations
make to artists and audiences and to society as a whole by supporting,
exhibiting and interpreting a broad spectrum of contemporary artistic
practice.
